Project DETAILS
Program
- The Metro – a lively, livable, and transit-orientated mixed-use, multi-building development
- Consists of four wood-frame, 6-storey residential rental apartment buildings with approximately 125 – 135 units per building
- Promotes low emissions and ecofriendly commuter options by purposefully limiting parking, providing direct access to shops, services, entertainment, a major skytrain transit hub, buses, and a huge bike area
- Commercial spaces on the ground floor provide direct and convenient access to groceries, pharmacy, fitness, restaurants, movies, banks, and more
- Community spaces and amenities include a community garden, generous rooftop patio, and an abundant courtyard green space that is a rarity in such an urban area
- Project helps to further the City of Surrey’s vision to revitalize the transit corridor and provide residents with close proximity to transit, specifically the Scott Road Skytrain station
- As an added sustainable benefit, it’s built on a space-saving footprint next to a brownfield, that otherwise may not have been developed due to the cost of reclaiming the land from previous industrial tenants
Systems
- Concrete and wood frame construction
- Multi-storey concrete podiums comprised of a mixture of parkade and commercial spaces
- Built with renewable wood materials and energy-saving LED lighting throughout
